To you more experienced plowers -
I am starting a snow removal business and am looking for some advice.
I just purchased a 2000 Chevy Ext.Cab 1500 short box 4wd with the Z71 package. The dealer said that there was only one plow that would not void the warranty (or that I could use and still have the transmission covered under warrenty...per GM). I believe it was a Meyer. (?) I only plan on doing residential plowing, but I guess I would not turn down commercial if the opportunity came up.
I plowed for one winter back in MN with a 3/4 ton ford diesel, so I am fairly inexperienced.
Any advice on which plow to put on my truck (which is also my personal vehicle) and how it will hold up being that it is a 1/2 ton? I've seen the fiberglass plows out there...any opinions on those? Do they make a fiberglass wing plow?
Thanks in advance -
